For the next few days, Lu Changsheng stayed at home, leading a leisurely life of mining at night and drinking during the day.
Ever since the patrol envoy under Xiao Tianci was beheaded, the situation has become increasingly tense.
The area around the county town is like a powder keg that may explode at any time.
The group of ghost messengers became more and more rampant, attacking outside the city and causing countless people to suffer.
All the warriors in the city were filled with righteous indignation, hoping that the strong men from the Demon Suppression Bureau could kill the group of ghost messengers.
This day, early in the morning.
After Lu Changsheng got up, he stretched his muscles in the yard.
Suddenly, there were bursts of light footsteps outside the yard.
He turned his head and looked.
I saw a beautiful woman in a white dress walking towards me with a rather cold expression on her face.
It was Tong Yuhua.
When Lu Changsheng saw the person coming, he was stunned. He didn't have a close relationship with this woman and didn't know why she came to see him today.
Tong Yuhua strode up to Lu Changsheng and smiled slightly:
"Lu Xunyou, how about joining me in a patrol outside the city tomorrow? It will also improve safety a lot."
In her opinion, Lu Changsheng was the weakest, so he naturally had no reason to reject her.
The other party has been staying in the city these days. I guess he was a little "scared" by the successive deaths of patrol envoys.
That's why she came here specially to invite him today.
"Thank you, Tong Xunyou."
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.
He had some guesses about the other party's thoughts, but he didn't explain anything. Instead, he agreed immediately.
He suspected that this might be Qin Ruobing's intention, and thought that he had backed down a little, so he asked the other party to lead him.
These days, he has been too relaxed, so he must have been noticed by many people.
It just so happened that he was a little bored of staying in the city, so it would be good to go out for a walk. With his own speed, almost no ghost could catch up with him.
Then the two agreed on a time, and Tong Yuhua turned and left the yard.
Lu Changsheng also practiced martial arts in the yard until lunchtime.
Fang Qing and her brother were already waiting at the dinner table.
Seeing Lu Changsheng approaching, Fang Tao couldn't help but mutter, "It's so dangerous outside the city, it's good for Brother Changsheng to stay at home all the time."
Obviously, he also knew that Lu Changsheng was going to go out of the city to carry out a mission again, and he was quite reluctant.
The successive deaths of the two patrol envoys made him extremely worried.
"Bang..."
Before she could finish her words, Fang Qing hit Fang Tao on the forehead with her chopsticks.
"Your brother Changsheng is busy with official duties. If everyone thought like you, the imperial court would have collapsed long ago. Countless demons and evil spirits would be lurking outside the city. There would be no hope for us to survive..."
Fang Qing spoke softly, glancing at Lu Changsheng with a hint of worry.
The two of them had already become warriors and had their own small circle in the city.
The outside world is rumored to have become a patrol envoy because of his speed and the relationship with Palace Master Qin, and his strength is almost at the bottom.
There was a high possibility that he would die outside the city, and these remarks made the two of them somewhat uneasy.
"Don't worry, I will retreat immediately if the situation is not right."
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and didn't explain too much.
He also knew that some comments from the outside world might have affected the two of them.
After hearing this, Fang Qing and her brother stopped talking.
The atmosphere on the field was quite depressing.
"When you have time, dig a cellar in your bedroom and build it entirely with fine iron..."
At this time, Lu Changsheng seemed to remember something and spoke lightly.
The time bomb "Du Ling" has been developing silently and may explode at any time. He must prepare for it in advance.
Fang Qing and the other person were stunned at first, then immediately agreed.
"We took immediate action."
They also knew that Lu Changsheng was not the kind of person who would attack without reason. He obviously knew something, so the two of them did not ask any further questions.
Just as they were eating, a strong man in black armor slowly walked towards the yard.
"Sir Lu, there's a man claiming to be the guardian of the Sanhe Gang at the street entrance who wants to see you..."
The burly man bowed with a respectful look on his face.
A small soldier like him could not neglect this land patrol envoy.
"not see."
Lu Changsheng's face was cold and he refused without hesitation.
He could also guess the other party's purpose, which was nothing more than sending some elixirs in an attempt to reconcile with him.
There was no way he could agree to this matter. The moment he stepped into the blood exchange, the other party would die.
After destroying the Sanhe Gang, all those spiritual creatures will be yours.
Not to mention that the other party may be colluding with evil spirits.
"I give your orders."
The strong man looked solemn and turned to leave the yard.
The family compound of the Demon Suppression Division, at the entrance of the street.
An old man in black was standing in the corner, looking quite anxious.
When he saw the strong man in black armor walking towards him, his eyes lit up.
"How is it? Did Lord Lu agree to see me?"
The old man in black sounded quite expectant.
"Lord Lu is not available to see you."
The burly man in black armor had a gloomy expression on his face. He stood quietly on the flat ground, blocking the entire intersection.
The old man in black smiled awkwardly, then turned and left.
A moment later.
The old man walked through the streets and came to the Sanhe Gang Gathering Hall.
At this time, gang leader Huang Tianba and two deputy gang leaders were waiting in the lobby.
"Boss, the other party refuses to meet with me."
The old man in black was full of indignation.
"Humph... This person really doesn't know what's good for him."
A cold light flashed in Huang Tianba's eyes.
"Don't worry about him. His strength is at the bottom among the patrolling envoys. Sooner or later, he will fall into the hands of the ghost envoy..."
"The leader is wise. The two fallen patrol officers are still stronger than the other party. Facing the increasingly fierce conflict ahead, the other party may not be able to escape unscathed."
The old man nodded in agreement.
...
The Demon Suppression Division, inside a magnificent hall.
He Chunlin and Chen Zhanpeng stood in the center of the hall.
"Are you sure you can defeat the First Ghost Envoy?"
"Don't worry, Palace Master. I will definitely defeat the enemy."
Chen Zhanpeng's face was full of pride.
As long as he can defeat the First Ghost Envoy, his reputation will surely increase greatly.
He is determined to take the position of deputy hall master.
"It's good to have this ambition."
He Chunlin smiled faintly.
It would also be an honor for him to have a deputy hall master among his subordinates.
"Palace Master Xiao's two subordinates are not as good as you, and Palace Master Qin's subordinates are just making up the numbers. This opportunity for you to be promoted is very great, so take advantage of it."
"I respect your orders."
Chen Zhanpeng bowed confidently.
...
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Lu Changsheng rushed to the place where he had agreed to meet Tong Yuhua.
He stood in a corner and waited quietly.
Not long after, a woman in white slowly approached from the distant street corner.
It was Tong Yuhua.
"Lu Xunyou arrived early."
Tong Yuhua walked over and greeted him.
Lu Changsheng smiled, and the two of them walked out of the city together.
After leaving the city gate, he ran quickly towards the official road in the distance.
The next few days.
Lu Changsheng and his companion had been patrolling outside the city, killing many cultists.
When the two of them joined forces, they encountered a lone ghost messenger, and the other party had to flee in panic.
For a moment, the news that the two of them attacked at the same time spread in the vicinity.
At the same time, some cultists also sent a number of strong men to snipe the two.
They were all easily avoided by Lu Changsheng and the other two.
Of course, Lu Changsheng never revealed his true strength.
Time flies, and another five days have passed.
It was noon that day.
"Boom boom boom…"
Lu Changsheng and Tong Yuhua were walking on the official road when they suddenly heard roars and shouts coming from not far away.
The two looked at each other and immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
Soon, the two came to the edge of a huge forest.
At this time, on the entire battlefield, the government and the cult bandits were fighting each other, and the murderous aura was rolling like smoke.
The ground was littered with corpses of all kinds, and the blood had stained the grass a deep red.
In the center of the battlefield, two extremely powerful auras were confronting each other.
Lu Changsheng looked closely and saw that it was Chen Zhanpeng and a young man in black.
This person is also Zuo Jiliang, the first ghost master of the Wenxiang Sect.
Unexpectedly, the two sides met here.
Chen Zhanpeng also noticed the arrival of Tong Yuhua and the other person, but ignored them.
"It's the First Ghost Envoy."
A cold light flashed in Tong Yuhua's eyes.
At this moment, two blood-red figures rushed out from the jungle in the distance again.
"Two more ghost messengers."
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng's expression changed slightly.
He was somewhat suspicious whether this was a trap set by the other party.
If anything went wrong, he was ready to retreat immediately.
"kill."
At this time, Chen Zhanpeng raised his knife and rushed towards Zuo Jiliang with unparalleled ferocity.
